I've gone pretty deep down the Wireless headphone path this past year (as I'm sure Apple fully hoped for those of us with iPhone 7's 
).
I have the Beats Solo3 and Powerbeats3 Wireless already but have been wanting to try these out for awhile now. I think I may sign up for the istocknow alerts and give it a go. They seem like they would be great for the office since they are not as bulky and can easily be removed to have a conversation when someone stops by your desk. Damn you Apple!

Get notifications from iStockNow. Worked for me like a charm. Was able to order enough for my whole family! Got two pair from AT&T and then a local Apple Store got stock and I ordered a pair for pickup two days later from there. I then cancelled my Apple.com order.
I suppose that could've been a rush, though. However, I don't think anyone has to wait 6 weeks if you just look for a few minutes a day. (That would depend on your distance from an Apple Store as well.)
It let me order! Hopefully they are actually in stockIn stock at AT&T NOW!!! Hurry!
Got the iStockNow notification for AT&T earlier and ordered instantly for my girlfriend, who has coveted mine since I got them. Order is still In Progress/Processing 90 minutes later. Hopefully they actually had stock to fulfill this.
I did notice that, even though it let me order, if you actually searched for them on the site it said out of stock at the time (and still does now).

Nope. My local Apple Store got some in stock after I ordered too but I couldn't break away from work or I'd have just gone and got them. As @kungxpao said above though Verizon also got some in so I'm hopeful the stock AT&T showed was real, and that I got in early enough.
They're meant to be a birthday present, along with an iPad Pro and the pencil, so hopefully I get them. The iPad and the pencil might be enough though
Another quick endorsement of iStockNow notifications, FWIW. They sent me an email around 8.30am today indicating that the Regent Street store in London had stock. I read it just after 9, reserved a pair for store pickup via apple.com/uk, and had them in my hands before 11am.
I had an area notification set up for most of London and a number of the major central London Apple stores seemed to get stock this morning.

Just got the preparing to ship update so we may be in luck
Yeah, I did an online chat with them a couple of hours ago and just as I was talking to them I got an another mail and my order now says preparing to ship too. Looks promising!
I got the email notifications from is in stock and ordered right away while at work. Was able to snag two pairs - one from NYC grand Central and the other from NYC 5Th avenue. Not sure what to do with the latter pair.
USPS are predicting Monday arrival. Score another one for istocknow.
Ordered today from the "local eBay" here in Brazil (Mercado-Livre). The seller says it bought from Apple in NY, so it's new/sealed. The price asked was good, cheaper than what we have in the official Apple website.
I was able to find only one online store selling these for a couple more $, however in a matter of days they increased the price even more than what Apple is asking.
I was planning to buy from BHPhotoVideo, if they were not asking me to wait until May.
Edit: cancelled, as explained here.
